Artist Statement:
“As a conceptual artist and surrealist, my work explores the intersection of narrative, meaning,
and imagination. I invite viewers to engage with my art not just on a visual level, but also
on an intellectual and emotional level. For me, the act of painting is a transformative process

Artworks
In artwork, the artist delves into the concept of an inescapable veil that is worn by all people, transcending differences such as country, race, colour, power, dignity, and so on. Initially existing only in the mind, this veil has now become a material presence in the world. The artist invites viewers to consider the deeper meaning and significance of this veil, and what it represents for humanity as a whole. Is it a shared human experience that connects us all, or a universal aspect of the human condition that we must all confront? Or perhaps it symbolizes a burden or the responsibility that we must all bear, regardless of our individual circumstances. Through this artwork, the artist invites contemplation and reflection on these ideas, encouraging viewers to consider their own relationship to the inescapable veil.
Exhibitions | Workshops | Live Paintings
On March 16th, 2022, I held my first solo exhibition titled “ENDOW” at the World Trade Center in conjunction with World Art Dubai. The theme of the exhibition was centered on women and their capacity to adapt, endure, and showcase their potential. I presented nine artworks that offered different perspectives on emotions, which were well- received by visitors who were curious to learn more about the deeper meaning behind each piece. The exhibition was a success due to the acceptance and engagement of the visitors.
Architecture & Interior
I have always had a passion for architecture and interior design. From a young age, I have been fascinated by the way that buildings are constructed and the way that spaces are designed and decorated. I love the way that different materials and textures can be used to create visually appealing and functional spaces, and I enjoy the process of brainstorming and coming up with creative solutions to design challenges.
As an artist, I find that my creative skills are an asset in the field of architecture and interior design. My ability to think visually and to communicate ideas through drawing and other forms of artistic expression has helped me to bring my design ideas to life in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. I believe that my artistic background has helped me to develop a keen eye for detail and an appreciation for the aesthetics of design, and I believe that these skills are essential for anyone who wants to succeed in this field.
Overall, my passion for architecture and interior design is driven by my desire to create beautiful and functional spaces that enhance the lives of those who use them. I believe that the combination of my artistic skills and my interest in design allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work, and I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow as a designer.
